Provider of silicone-based products and technologies, Dow Corning has introduced a new line of silicone-based formulations such as sun creams, leave-in hair conditioners and skin moisturizers, under its XIAMETER brand for skin and hair applications.

Silicones in conditioners and shampoos safeguard hair and add smoothness, shine, control and volume. Incorporating silicones in sun creams and skin moisturizers allow them to spread more over the skin and thus give optimum protection from harmful ultraviolet rays. Silicones also provide a non-sticky, soft feel to the skin.
